Xiang Shen was stunned.
Xu Ruanruan really regards Xiang Shen as his good friend. She only knows Xiang Shen in the company, and she only spends time with Xiang Shen. Although she and Gu Ziyi have known each other for a longer time, there is a superior-subordinate relationship, and there is definitely no way to get along like ordinary friends.
But Xiang Shen is different.
Xu Ruanruan lowered her head. She felt that her behavior might be a bit ridiculous. In fact, Xiang Shen didn't need to take her emotions into consideration. Maybe he treated the two of them as just ordinary colleagues and there was no need to say anything more.
"I'm sorry." Xiang Shen said.
Xu Ruanruan froze, slowly raised his head, and looked at Xiang Shen.
Xiang Shen's expression was particularly sincere, "I'm very sorry, I didn't tell you these things. I have never told anyone because I don't want others to think that I am where I am now because of my relationship with Director Gu. In the company Here, I have never told anyone about my relationship with Director Gu."
Xiang Shen felt the need to explain: "I didn't know you thought these things were so important. If I knew, I would definitely tell you. I also want to be your good friend. I'm not very good at dealing with relationships. I don’t have any particularly good friends, so... I’m very sorry, I’m sorry.”
Xu Ruanruan blinked, "I... I..." She felt that she was being unreasonable. But I didn't expect Xiang Shen to say these sincere words. For a moment, Xu Ruanruan was a little at a loss.
In the past, when dealing with friends, I would just calm down when I got angry, and things would get better after a while. No one will ever really bow his head and admit his mistake, because it is not a mistake. This was the first time she met someone like Xiang Shen.
Xiang Shen looked into Xu Ruanruan's eyes and said, "I'm sorry."
Xu Ruanruan was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, "I don't blame you... I just made a fuss out of a molehill."
Xiang Shen said, "I won't hide anything from you in the future."
"... Well..." Xu Ruanruan tried to free his hand this time, but he let go easily.
Xiang Shen let go of her hand.
Xu Ruanruan's wrist turned red, which was in sharp contrast to her fair skin. Xiang Shen really used his strength just now.
Xiang Shen also noticed, "Is your hand... okay?"
Xu Ruanruan turned his wrist and shook his head: "It's okay."
The atmosphere between the two of them was slightly awkward.
The two of them were now in the corridor, and the door of the house directly opposite them opened. An old lady led a child.
The old lady turned around and closed the door. She walked slowly, holding her grandson's hand. "Grandson, don't stand in front of someone else's house when you have an argument with your girlfriend. Otherwise, we could have gone out for a walk long ago."
"I know, grandma." The child responded obediently.
Xiang Shen: “…”
Xu Ruanruan: "..."
Embarrassing, so embarrassing.
—
Gu Ziyi received a message from Luo Lian the next day, and he set a time and restaurant.
Gu Ziyi doesn't have to work anymore recently, so she has plenty of time. So she agreed to meet him, otherwise Luo Lian would not give up. Gu Ziyi opened the drawer and found several more cards inside.
She carefully collected each one.
Reluctant to throw it away.
The roses didn't last long and were finally thrown away.
But Gu Ziyi kept all the cards that came with each bouquet of roses.
After so long, I have saved a thick stack.
That day she bought a Peninsula iron box in that store and used it all to hold cards.
Gu Ziyi stretched out her hand, picked up the edge of a card, and held it up.
"Miss Gu, I am not happy today. I wonder if you are happy? - Luo Lian"
She put it down and picked up another one.
"Miss Gu, I have also missed the past, and now I understand that people should live in the present. I wish you well and long-term well-being. - Luo Lian"
…
Many pictures.
Gu Ziyi looked at the words and couldn't tell what her emotions were. She also began to guess Luo Lian's emotions when he started writing.
The emotion between the lines is not strong, but rather a touch of sadness. Most of them were written by Luo Lian himself, and only a few of them were copied by him. The cards I received during this period showed some changes in my mood compared to before. The cards I received at the beginning still made me feel happy.
Except for the handwriting on the card I received for the first time, which did not belong to Luo Lian, all the remaining cards were Luo Lian's handwriting.
Writing cards made her feel like she was still in middle school and high school. It was popular at that time to write love letters, and boys and girls would write their thoughts on colorful stationery and hide them in beautiful envelopes. Maybe it will also smell like a nice perfume.
Gu Ziyi was considered a nerd when she was in school, and she rarely received love letters or anything like that. Confession... It seems that there is no such thing. At that time, all I could think about was studying, taking the college entrance examination, and going to university.
The cards written by Luo Lian this time made Gu Ziyi feel that way, with every trace of joy.
She put the card down and closed the drawer.
Luo Lian's appointment was at 3:30 in the afternoon, so Gu Ziyi worked as usual in the morning until her lunch break.
She ordered takeout and planned to have a simple meal. Xu Ruanruan is responsible for picking up takeaway food for her.
She took advantage of the break to lie on the table and squint for a while until Xu Ruanruan came in. Xu Ruanruan's voice woke her up.
"Mr. Gu, your takeout has arrived." Xu Ruanruan put the takeout on her desk.
Gu Ziyi propped up her arms, her eyes still a little hazy. "Um...thank you."
"You're welcome."
Gu Ziyi reached out and pulled the takeout towards her.
Xu Ruan Ruan is walking out.
Gu Ziyi suddenly thought of something and suddenly woke up, "Ruan Ruan!"
Xu Ruanruan paused and turned around, "What's wrong? Mr. Gu?" This was the first time she heard Gu Ziyi call her name in such a tone.
Gu Ziyi asked: "Today's flowers...?"
Xu Ruanruan suddenly realized, "Mr. Gu, no one is here to send flowers today."
The roses that have never been cut off have no one to send them today.
Gu Ziyi felt a little disappointed. "Oh... it's okay, thank you." Her tone was quite relaxed.
Xu Ruanruan walked out of her office.
Gu Ziyi opened the takeout box and took out the tableware. I'm not very hungry, nor do I really want to eat. There is a feeling of loss in my heart, which is inexplicable.
She doesn't like flowers that much either.
I don’t particularly like roses either.
It's just... it's delivered on time every day, but today it's not there. It's a bit... not used to it
During the three days she was away on business, the roses never stopped blooming.
Gu Ziyi mechanically put something into her mouth and swallowed it without chewing a few times. My mind is not on what I'm eating, so I don't pay attention to whether the food tastes good or not. This was the first time for her to eat so boringly. In the past, she would not lose focus while eating.
It's because of Luo Lian again.
Gu Ziyi lowered his head and sighed softly.
